Big Bend is a great national park with a lot of different activities. I got in relatively late so I camped at one of the campsites on the Laguna Meadows Trail. I did not see more than a handful of people walking back to the lodge while I was walking uphill. If you need some solo time, the Chisos mountains overnight is the right thing to do. I saw lots of wildlife, but nothing too dangerous (deer is not exactly in my list of dangerous animals XD ). The next morning I completed the loop, and man!, that view from the top is amazing!!! You can also climb Emory peak if you want to do some rock climbing very close to the top. I totally recommend doing this trip if you happen to be around the area (It is ~5 hrs drive from El Paso)
